Features & Specifications
Our "Down in the Dirt" Experts Opinion
There is NO better way to help Mother Earth do its best job of sustaining us than with "vermicomposting". I have compared other kinds of vermicomposters, and I think the Worm Factory® is the best design for the worms and for users. Firstly, and most important, the worms can easily migrate upwards through the grid on the bottom of each tray because the upper tray sits within the tray below it. Without that contact, the worms would have to fly to reach another tray. This design factor makes it really easy to know when you need to harvest some finished vermicompost. As the tray contents shrink into the finished compost, the tray above it lowers further into it, which tells you that it needs to be emptied and refilled and rotated.
Do you have questions? - Need Advice? Call me 1 866 567-0813 I would be glad to help.
* If you add worms (optional) to your order please have in mind that the Red Worms will only ship every Monday, from a different location. By law, we cannot ship Red Worms to Hawaii or Alaska.
Unique Features of the
Worm Factory® 360
:
New Thermo Siphon Design
How it works:
Air enters the base on all four sides
Worms burrow through the compost creating air passages
Rising heat and compost gases create a Thermo Siphon, pulling the air upwards through the trays
Air exits the four sides of the lid
Allows 10 times more air circulation than similar composters.
The Worm Factory® 360 has a standard 4-Tray size which is expandable up to 8 trays, giving it the largest volume of any home composter.
Now only 1 step assembly out of the box.
The redesigned lid converts to a handy stand for trays while harvesting the compost
The accessory kit provides basic tools to make managing the Worm Factory® 360 easier.
20 year warranty.
Includes:
4 Stacking Trays:
Each tray is 16x16x5 and is made from recycled #2 plastics. The Worm Factory 360 comes with four trays and can be expanded up to eight trays. Four trays normally provides enough room for the kitchen waste of a family of 4. Each tray averages to be about 12 pounds when full of compost
Collection Base:
The collection base holds the stacking trays and is strong enough to hold up to 200lb. Air is brought into the system from all 4 sides of the base. It travels upwards with the heat and gasses produced by the compost. Moisture that travels down with gravity is held in the collection tray and can be drained out as liquid fertilizer.
16 Page Instructions Book:
Detailed instructions are provided on the setup and management of the Worm Factory 360. Illustrated to show you the best techniques to use when vermicomposting. This manual is made from recycled paper and uses soy based inks.
Ventilation "Quick Tips" Lid:
Many people believe a lid is necessary to keep the worms from escaping from their Worm Factory 360. Having a tight lid actually works against your worm composter by restricting air flow. Worms are sensitive to light and will move away from it as quickly as possible. The most important reason to have a lid is to protect the top layer from any light. The Worm Factory 360 lid provides both air flow and light protection. As an added benefit we have placed the basic instructions on the lid in case your manual becomes lost.
Coir Brick:
A great growing medium and worm bedding material, coir is a byproduct of harvesting coconuts. Coir holds moisture and then releases it slowly allowing worms to keep moist. Once the compost enters your plants or garden any coir that comes along with it is great for growing strong root systems
Worm Bedding:
Created from a mixture of paper and cardboard, the worm bedding is crushed together and turned into a light fluffy substance that provides fiber for the worms and aerates the compost. The Worm Bedding comes in a brown paper bag that can also be put directly into your Worm Factory 360.
Spigot:
The spigot allows valuable “worm tea” to be easily drained from the collection base. Once you see the effect of “worm tea” on your plants you won’t be able to get enough.
Accessory Kit
:
Scraper: Our scraper makes is easy to scrape finished compost out of bins and makes rotating trays much cleaner and easier.
Handrake: The hand rake comes in handy when stirring your compost and transferring worms from tray to tray.
Thermometer: With a color coded temperature guide, our thermometer makes sure that your Worm Factory® is working at an optimum te
mperature.
Composting with worms allows you to turn kitchen scraps, paper waste and cardboard into nutrient-rich soil for your plants.
The Worm Factory® 360
composti
ng system takes the effort out of composting. With a thermo siphon air flow design, the
Worm Factory® 360
increases the composting speed. Now you can produce compost much faster than traditional composting methods. Master Gardeners agree, worm castings are one of the richest forms of fertilizer that you can use.
The Worm Factory® 360 can be used indoors or outdoors allowing year round production. Now composting is no longer limited to backyards. The
Worm Factory® 360
is odorless making it great for apartments, kitchens, garages, porches and more.
How it works:
Simply add a handful of worms and your organic waste to the botto
m tray. The worms will start processing the food. Once the bottom tray is filled add another tray. The worms migrate upward to the newest food source leaving the bottom tray full of nutrient rich compost.
As waste is broken down, moisture filters through the system, takin
g nutrient-rich particles with it. This makes it possible to harvest organic liquid fertilizer right from the spigot.
